"I had my kitchen redone by Mike at MF Construction about two years ago and was NOT happy with the results. I’m posting now because of a newly discovered problem. The reasons Electrical: My wife wanted a better kitchen, but all I wanted was a dedicated circuit for the microwave. The old kitchen wiring did need to be replace, (it cost us $6,800 for one room) and electrician said we needed an upgraded electric panel to 200amps at a cost of $3,800. 1. The electrician did NOT put the dedicated circuit for the microwave. Literally the only specific thing we requested of him. 2. With just a little bit of research I found we did NOT need the upgraded panel, which would have cost $3,800 PLUS almost $1,000 more to move some waterpipes away from it for code reasons. I called Mike and asked him why they said I needed one. He had the nerve to tell me that I was the customer and should know to ask more details. I told him that HE was the contractor and we hired him to help us navigate the process. As a homeowner, how am I supposed to know about electrical details? He begrudgingly took the item off the contract, and we stuck with the existing panel 3. The electrician refused to install our stove’s exhaust hood because someone in the past accused him of scratching theirs. Mike and a couple of laborers “installed it”, but the chimney, the piece that goes from the hood to the ceiling, wasn’t attached and was bent in. I fixed that myself later 4. Upon me writing my first negative review, Mike begged me to take it down and set up an appointment for the electrician to come over. I explained about the dedicated circuit and the electrician said the outlets were evenly split between two different circuits. I said I understood, but I wanted the microwave on its own because when the toaster oven was on, and you tried to use the microwave, the power drained and the microwave slowed. The electrician said, “Just run the cord to that other outlet”. I didn’t want a big black cord would be running across my new counter, I wanted a dedicated circuit. He then RAISED HIS VOICE while pointing to each outlet, “One, Two, One, Two, One, Two!” Mike stopped him and asked what it would take. They said they needed to rip out part of a wall, and would take days. Then the electrician again said, “But why, just run the cord across!”. His voice was louder this time and I demanded he leave and not yell at me in my own home. He kept arguing and I had to again ask him to leave…I was feeling unsafe at this point…but asked again, for a third time and Mike finally lead him out. As he stomped down my drive way he was yelling back at me that I was ignorant and to never call him again. This last part is all on my security cameras. Plumbing 1. We purchased an under-sink water filter and I asked him to hook it up for us. The entire installation consisted of attaching an adapter, that’s it. Anyone can do it, but since the plumber was just installing the valves, I asked if they could do it. Mike said it would be an additional $60 to $100. I was stunned. He said they would go ahead and install it and I could pay him after. I told him no, I would take care of it…I was livid. The plumber was much nicer, and said it was no problem and would only take a minute to do it and to not charge me General 1. When Mike had the crew move my fridge out, they marred the side of it. Luckily for us it was on the counter side. At the end they went to my garage to move it back in and kicked over a glass patio candle, spilling oil over the floor and shattering the glass. 2. Within a couple of weeks, the paint on the cabinets cracked and the doors didn’t line up. Mike did send someone out to fix that. NEW PROBLEM Today, September 15, 2022, I found a new issue. I tried to turn off the water to my sink and the valve isn’t working. After less than two years I am now forced to hire a plumber to come in an replace it with a quality one. How bad does a valve have to be to fail so quickly? After getting the cabinets fixed, and having Mike tell me he was sorry and because of some medical issues he let the quality suffer, I had forgiven MF Construction, despite the ongoing electric annoyances, and took down the bad review. After this new issue popped up again, it all came back. AVOID THIS COMPANY. There are many great GCs out there, so don’t take the chance. Additionally, as shown in the photos, the finishes were pathetic, as well. I ended up doing painting touch ups myself."

"McGee construction recently insulated, dry walled, and added electrical outlets my garage. They were quick and efficient in completing the project. It was a pleasure working with Cade who coordinated everything and was very hands on making sure everything was to our liking. Cade was very hands on making sure things were kept at a certain standard. We got quotes from 5 other companies and McGee Construction was the company we ultimately decided to go with because they are very fairly priced and overall just had good vibes when talking with them. We definitely do not regret our choice and would recommend them for anyone looking to start a new project for their home."

"They were so helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I made the process so much more enjoyable. And I look forward to working with them on future projects."

"I had the headache of trying to finding a reputable company to fix the mold problem at my father’s house. I sifted through 5 other companies and for one reason or another they didn’t work out. Until I found Monroy's Father and Son Restoration. From the moment I contacted them, Daniel was a dream to work with. I knew I was in good hands. Dealing with mold is stressful and overwhelming, but everyone I spoke or dealt with immediately put my mind at ease with their professional and compassionate approach. Daniel was responsive and answered every question I had. He made this process so easy! They weren't just trying to sell me a service; they genuinely cared about helping me and me get the house back to a safe environment. The team arrived promptly for the work and sent status updates at the end of each day. During the remediation their attention to detail was impeccable. They treated our home with the utmost respect. They worked efficiently and diligently, and I was impressed by their commitment to doing the job right the first time. Thanks to Monroy’s Father & Son Restoration our home is now mold-free, and we can breathe easy again. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring mold remediation company, look no further. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a mold issue. Support small business!"

"I love this crew. Nick, Jake and a rotating cast of experts remodeled my bathroom, attic and did other smaller projects in my house. I work from home, so rapport and trust, while always important, were imperative to such a long scope. The kitchen turned out so well, we felt like we had a thought partner and someone who could think outside of the typical contractor box. It's opened our home up so much and was worth every penny and every extra day."

"I was pleased with Amir and highly recommend him. He responded quickly with quotes and the delivery of professionals to my home to get the work done. The jobs were relatively small but he did not hesitate to help me. The quality of the work was excellent."

"Full kitchen and bathroom remodel. (Loft condo) From my initial meetings with Anar the owner, to meeting the team that did the install It was an entirely stellar experience. Anar presented me with samples and a clear understanding of the project scope. A project manager was assigned that came out to the site on a regular basis to monitor progress and quality. The two gentleman that came out to do the installation were personable..and maintained a clean workspace and professional attitude throughout. Both obviously skilled for the job duties. There was great care taken during the project on communication regarding the installations, and leaving the site as undisturbed as possible (clean) and with respect to property rules. (Condo). The fixtures and materials offered were all top quality and brands. Project oversight and city permits were all handled by the project manager. A very high level of communication and attention to detail were provided throughout the project. My spouse and I are very happy with the results, and this is added tremendously to the value of the property. This is our first remodel, and although it is an inherently stressful undertaking, Anar and his team really delivered with service and quality. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ gentleman! Thank you again! I recommend working with this team👍"
